tftp put

tftp put [ ip-address | host-name] {vr vr_name} {block-size block_size}local-file { remote-file}

Desciption

Allows you to use TFTP from the current command line interface session to copy the file from the local host, including the switch, internal memory card, compact flash card, or USB 2.0 storage device and put it on a TFTP server.

Syntax Description


`host-name`	Specifies the name of the remote host.
`ip-address`	Specifies the IP address of the TFTP server.
`vr_name`	Specifies the name of the virtual router.NOTE: User-created VRs are supported only on the platforms listed for this feature in the ExtremeXOS 32.1 Feature License Requirements document.
`block_size`	Specifies the data block size, excluding TFTP header. Data block size ranges from 24-65000 bytes.
`local-file`	Specifies the name of the file (configuration file, policy file) on the local host.
`remote-file`	Specifies the name of the file on the remote host.

Default

If you do not specify a virtual router, VR-Mgmt, and then VR-Default (if needed), is used.

If you do not specify the internal memory card or a removable storage device, the switch downloads or uploads the file from the switch local file system.

If you do not specify block size, the default value is 1400 bytes.

Usage Guidelines

This command is supported by IPv4 only.

NetASCII and mail file type formats are not supported.

This command was introduced to simplify using TFTP to transfer configuration, policy, and if configured, core dump files from the switch to the TFTP server. You can continue to use the original tftp command introduced in ExtremeXOS 10.1.
